Every time I look in Oscars tank he’s in a different spot, perched watching us. At first when I tapped on the tank, all I could see was a periscope eyeball. Next time he was sitting in the orange coral, perched on the Eheim tube and now he’s sitting in the leaves of the plastic plant. Tonight Jess and I went collecting. We brought home mussels and some snails. He seems to like being hand fed. And he likes mussels. Took it from my hand and then proceeded to grab my finger and try to run away with the mussel and finger.. I have always been cautious with using the flash as I want them to befriend the camera and not run away from it. I remember one of my octopuses I accidentally flashed and it took him a good week not to run away as soon as he saw the camera. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that maybe they did not use dish soap to capture him. I’m getting attached and it’s only Day 3.
